[T]he legal documents show, [Daniel] Cowart and [Paul] Schlesselman "planned to drive their vehicle as fast as they could toward Obama shooting at him from the windows."

"Both individuals stated they would dress in all white tuxedos and wear top hats during the assassination attempt," the court complaint states. "Both individuals further stated they knew they would and were willing to die during this attempt."

The problem is that a lot of these things sound far fetched because they're disrupted.

9/11 still sounds like an outlandish idea to me: bunch of guys with box cutters who took flying lessons high-jack a plane to crach them into buildings.

I strongly disagree with Obama on the issues, but it would be absolutely tragic if something happened to him and, as history shows, when something tragic happens it's because of crackpots like these morons.

What was outlandish about 9/11 was the idea that anyone would be insane enough to WANT to carry out such attacks. It isn't outlandish at all that people would want to assassinate a Presidential candidate. The manner in which the attacks themselves were carried out made perfect sense -- it was coldly rational and designed to take advantage of airline security flaws, e.g. the well-known fact that airline crews were told to give in to hijackers. It was difficult to see how the attack could fail.

This plan was exactly the opposite of that. The goal -- political assassination -- is entirely run-of-the-mill. We expect that sort of thing, and have a Secret Service specifically to prevent it. The *plan*, on the other hand, was utterly retarded and would never have worked.

Add this to the dozens of attacks in America prevented by American law enforcement because of the detemination of one George W Bush to keep Americans safe. And after 9/11, no one - NO ONE - predicted or believed in an America free for the next 7 years from terrorist attacks.

Hate him or love him, History will put a big "Excellent" next to the keeping America safe column for George W Bush.

Oh well, guess we'll have to see how long it takes before their death sentence is confirmed!

Oops, I take that back, no death sentence for simply planning their stupid deed. However, sending them to prison will be a death sentence in fact so maybe we should shoot'em out of hand; much more merciful, eh!

The real threats are current or former US military personnel with combat experience in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Yes, professionals could do it, particularly if they didn't plan to survive. But it's less likely they actually would - because they're professionals. Military people take that duty and honor stuff more seriously than most people, and unstable personalities generally don't fit in long enough to acquire those mad sniper skillz.

The one thing in the article that stands out is that they were arrested on 'unspecified charges'. What does that mean exactly? Were these two bozos under some kind of survellience for this plot or were they picked up for something else?

And what the hell is up with white tuxedos and top hats? Yeah, that get up won't stand out and draw attention. Yes, pay no attention to the skinhead in the tux with the 30.06

I'd like to hear a little more about this because it sounds an awful like a couple of chucklefucks who got busted on some unrelated rap and are shooting for their 15 minutes. Because based upon the link, this had about as much chance of happening as well, McCain winning in November.

Eighty eight members of the Duke faculty and assorted hangers-on were all for violating the rights of the falsely accused lacrosse players. Coincidence? I think not, says I, walking away from my Steinway and hopping into my Olds Rocket 88...

I think I can safely predict that if Obama is elected, every other racist skinhead 'chucklefuck' (love that one, will have to steal it on every appropriate occasion) busted clean-to-rights on weapons charges will make up outlandish presidential assassination fantasies in order to play Big Man In Lockup.

I'd be willing to bet that they'll have their own prison gang inside of six months after the inaugural.

Tim McVey, Terry Nichols, John Allen Mohammed?Didn't kill anyone in high national office, but still.

Will it? White supremacists have a pretty significant presence in prisons, don't they?

I don't know that these guys are gonna fit right in. The picture on foxnews.com looks to me like that kid is in full makeup. Tranny skinhead? Is that a new trend? Maybe the kid just has ruby red lips. But I doubt it.

This was a bit much. If you don't agree with the liberal illuminati, that doesn't mean you should attempt to murder them and innocent children. These guys took it way too far, and should be dealt with.
